Abstract (en)

[origin: US5344758A] A method for determining whether antiphospholipid antibodies are present in a sample is disclosed. The method comprises contacting the sample with a negatively charged phospholipid and with beta -2-glycoprotein-I or a homolog or analog thereof and determining whether any antiphospholipid antibodies have bound to the contacted phospholipid and beta -2-glycoprotein-I, wherein detection of binding of antiphospholipid antibodies to the phospholipid and beta -2-glycoprotein-I, is indicative that antiphospholipid antibodies are present in the sample. Also disclosed is a method for determining whether a negatively charged phospholipid is present in a sample, a kit for use in an assay for determining whether antiphospholipid antibodies are present in a sample, a kit for use in an assay for determining whether a negatively charged phospholipid is present in a sample, a method for determining whether antiphospholipid antibodies in a sample are antibodies to an autoimmune disease or antibodies to an infectious disease and a method for determining whether antiphospholipid antibodies to an autoimmune disease and antiphospholipid antibodies to an infectious disease are present in a sample.
